Wow, that is pretty hostile to the elderly. Imagine those who struggle to get about? Excluding them from society.

Wow, that is pretty hostile to the elderly.

I’m in the UK. I do not use them. I can login via website, and use text as 2FA. I do not need to use it out of the house but have that option if I want.

I pay via bank debit card.

I would be surprised if they app locked features. It would exclude elderly and probably be illegal.

Out of curiosity, what do older citizens do? Like those in their 80s? Many here do not have a smart phone or mobile.

How do you setup separate profiles?

It didn’t suddenly go that way. It was always the plan. A loss leader.

“When I work I like to do my job and then relax.”

They like to do it the other way around. They do nothing, then something. You do something then nothing. Why do you feel that your way has to b the right way and everyone else is wrong?

Do your workload, and no more, and be fine with it, or move to another organisation with the same problem.

The goal is for you to be able to understand that people in this world are different to you and that is fine. As long as you aren’t doing their job for them, it’s all good. If you choose to do that, it is on you.

I cannot see this working. Unless it can ask if you have enough anaesthetic and stop when you do not, otherwise, it’ll be an expensive torture device.

Really ain’t writing code in termux. I want an IDE. Why use a substandard device?

Programming? Nah. It’s a consumption device, not a creation device.

It was more than one mistake. Where was the QA, the staged rollout, the CI? It brought unto question how competent this company is to be a dominant player in such a critical market.

What?

Was that just an embarrassed verbal vomit?

You were wrong, and rather than admitting, or leaving it, you continue trying to spew words in the hope that you confuse and distract people from realising you were wrong. Are you that insecure?

What you are referring to is heuristics. It’s simplistic. Effective for wild animals that require processing of complex information quickly to escape predators for example, but not so much for civilised humans that require a greater deal of accuracy.

You demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the approach by assuming I’m a Democrat or even American.

The skill is in understanding the process, the flaw and developing a capability for critical thought. You’ll get there eventually, hopefully.

For it to be the most secure app in the world, you’d need to understand the main attack vectors, and how to mitigate them. You’d have to understand them and how you mitigate them better than how Signal or Element mitigate them. Finally, you’d have to get it audited by a reputable security auditor than will validate your claims.

If you do not have the money, best bet is to have a donation method or 2, like Liberapay, Open Collective etc. and fund raise for it. Active users are more likely to donate, so get folk using it. Focus more on what it is and it’s advantages. “A secure chat app that can be run regardless of hardware out of your browser*. Long term aims to be the most secure app in the world. Join us on that adventure.”

If you do not know, learn. If you really want to create the most secure chat app in the world, you have to become a subject matter expert, know the challenges and rivals. There is no shortcut in this. Depends how much you want this.

Oh, and yeah, JS, if you’re using node, keep your app and dependencies scanned and up to date constantly.

I’m on that instance and not a tankie. I’m politically left, but object completely to authoritarianism and justification of atrocities.

So yeah, I get annoyed when pricks generalise and wish my death upon me for thinking maybe we should help the poorest in society and don’t think the super rich deserve every penny they get.

I find it ironic when people are hating on one political grouping and their conduct is no better than the ones they despise.

Wow, that’s a pretty discussing comment. You do not agree with a few peoples views, do generalise and want them to die. You’re worse than tankies.

Nah, it’s quite big and well known in open source circles.

You do you, though.

It’s fine. They said Windows 10 is there last operating system. It sure is for me.

It actually doesn’t.

It is the open source code. You can optionally install Google play in a restrictive sandbox if you wish. You do not have to.

I cannot disagree with the last sentence. He has his fair share of issues, but it doesn’t take away from his ability or contributions.

Unique seeeeeds, determin-istic activityyyy…
